Absalom guides Barns through the busy streets of Ravinatra in a world of greyscale, hovering to a building off the strip.
They come to a towering skyscraper - a black monolith of sharp, jagged edges and a triangular shape that rises high into the sky. Compared to the other buildings around, it feels out of place - devoid of traffic, light, and grandeur. The type of place someone would walk by and never fully notice, despite how conspicuous it appears.
Absalom leads Barns inside. In their ethereal forms, they pass through the walls of the edifice like ghosts, and they find themselves in one of the top rooms of the tower.
A man sits at a large and official desk, facing away from them. Dark shadows blanket the scene, making him hard to see. As Barns floats there, immobile, he squints his eyes in the dark office to try and make out the figure, but it's impossible.
In that moment, the door of the office bursts open, rattling on its hinges as if blown open by a maelstrom.
